Neuropixels Datalogger Headstage
The Neuropixels neural datalogger headstage optimizes the power and density of Imec’s Neuropixels 1.0 probes by enabling multiprobe and untethered (wireless) electrophysiological recording. The Neuropixels datalogger records neural signals from up to three Neuropixels 1.0 probes simultaneously for both tethered and untethered electrophysiology recording experiments.
- Record up to 400 selected channels of neural data in untethered (wireless) data logging mode, or livestream and record up to 1152 selected channels in tethered mode via the MCU.
- Light enough for rats and larger animals; just 19g for headstage + cone
- Compatible with any of the Neuropixels 1.0 probes. This includes the ultra high-density and NHP (nonhuman primate probes).
- Optimized for high throughput and social experiments
- Integrated accelerometer, gyroscope and radio receiver
